From the discussion on this list, it seems that there are still users
who will continue to use Numeric for the time being. It would therefore
be good if some of those users can become Numeric maintainers for the
benefit of people who choose to continue using Numeric for now. Is
anybody else interested in becoming a Numeric maintainer? Since the
focus will be on maintenance rather than code development, I expect the
workload to be acceptable. Is anybody else in favor of appointing
Numeric maintainers?
